Triassic Period

This is the first period of the Mesozoic Era.

This period was when life was still recovering from the previous events in the Late Permian. Dinosaurs rose in the Mid-Late part of this period, and weren’t dominant until the Early-Mid Jurassic.

The continent Pangaea was the dominant one in this period.

At the end of the period, the Triassic-Jurassic Extinction Event happened. It wiped at at least 25-30% of all life on both sea and water. However, it wasn’t as devastating as other extinctions. This event helped dinosaurs evolve and become dominant in the Jurassic Period,
